Incorporation of Cu/Ni in Ordered Mesoporous Co-Based Spinels to Facilitate Oxygen Evolution and Reduction Reactions in Alkaline Media and Aprotic Li-O₂ Batteries.

ABSTRACT: Ordered mesoporous CuNiCo oxides were prepared via nanocasting with varied Cu/Ni ratio to establish its impact on the electrochemical performance of the catalysts. Physicochemical properties were determined along with the electrocatalytic activities toward oxygen evolution/reduction reactions (OER/ORR). Combining Cu, Ni, and Co allowed creating active and stable bifunctional electrocatalysts. CuNiCo oxide (Cu/Ni≈1 : 4) exhibited the highest current density of 411 mA cm^-2 at 1.7 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) and required the lowest overpotential of 312 mV to reach 10 mA cm^-2 in 1 m KOH after 200 cyclic voltammograms. OER measurements were also conducted in the purified 1 m KOH, where CuNiCo oxide (Cu/Ni≈1 : 4) also outperformed NiCo oxide and showed excellent chemical and catalytic stability. For ORR, Cu/Ni incorporation provided higher current density, better kinetics, and facilitated the 4e^- pathway of the oxygen reduction reaction. The tests in Li-O₂ cells highlighted that CuNiCo oxide can effectively promote ORR and OER at a lower overpotential.

Project description:Li-O2 batteries (LOBs) with an extremely high theoretical energy density have been reported to be the most promising candidates for future electric storage systems. Porous catalysts can be beneficial for LOBs. Herein, 3D-ordered macroporous La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3 perovskite oxides (3D-LSCF) are applied as cathode catalysts in LOBs. With a high Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area (21.8?m2?g-1) and unique honeycomb-like macroporous structure, the 3D-LSCF catalysts possess a much higher efficiency than La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3 (LSCF) nanoparticles. The unique 3D-ordered macropores play a significant role in the product deposition as well as oxygen and electrolyte transmission, which are crucial for the discharge-charge processes of LOBs.

Highly Ordered Mesoporous NiCo2O4 as a High Performance Anode Material for Li-Ion Batteries.

Project description:The controlled synthesis of highly ordered mesoporous structure has attracted considerable attention in the field of electrochemistry because of its high specific surface area which can contribute the transportation of ions. Herein, a general nano-casting approach is proposed for synthesizing highly ordered mesoporous NiCo2O4 microspheres. The as-synthesized mesoporous NiCo2O4 microsphere materials with high Brunner-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area (~97.77 m2g-1) and uniform pore size distribution around 4 nm exhibited a high initial discharge capacity of ~1,467 mAhg-1, a good rate capability as well as cycling stability. The superior electrochemical performance was mainly because of the highly porous nature of NiCo2O4, which rendered volume expansion during the process of cycling and shortened lithium-ions transport pathways. These properties showcase the inherent potential for use of highly ordered mesoporous NiCo2O4 microspheres as a potential anode material for lithium-ion batteries in the future.

Hierarchically ordered mesoporous Co3O4 materials for high performance Li-ion batteries.

Project description:Highly ordered mesoporous Co3O4 materials have been prepared via a nanocasting route with three-dimensional KIT-6 and two-dimensional SBA-15 ordered mesoporous silicas as templates and Co(NO3)2 · 6H2O as precursor. Through changing the hydrothermal treating temperature of the silica template, ordered mesoporous Co3O4 materials with hierarchical structures have been developed. The larger pores around 10 nm provide an efficient transport for Li ions, while the smaller pores between 3-5 nm offer large electrochemically active areas. Electrochemical impedance analysis proves that the hierarchical structure contributes to a lower charge transfer resistance in the mesoporous Co3O4 electrode than the mono-sized structure. High reversible capacities around 1141 mAh g(-1) of the hierarchically mesoporous Co3O4 materials are obtained, implying their potential applications for high performance Li-ion batteries.

Molecular Design of Stable Sulfamide- and Sulfonamide-based Electrolytes for Aprotic Li-O2 Batteries.

Project description:Electrolyte instability is one of the most challenging impediments to enabling Lithium-Oxygen (Li-O2) batteries for practical use. The use of physical organic chemistry principles to rationally design new molecular components may enable the discovery of electrolytes with stability profiles that cannot be achieved with existing formulations. Here, we report on the development of sulfamide- and sulfonamide-based small molecules that are liquids at room temperature, capable of dissolving reasonably high concentration of Li salts (e.g., LiTFSI), and are exceptionally stable under the harsh chemical and electrochemical conditions of aprotic Li-O2 batteries. In particular, N,N-dimethyl-trifluoromethanesulfonamide was found to be highly resistant to chemical degradation by peroxide and superoxide, stable against electrochemical oxidation up to 4.5 VLi, and stable for > 90 cycles in a Li-O2 cell when cycled at < 4.2 VLi. This study provides guiding principles for the development of next-generation electrolyte components based on sulfamides and sulfonamides.

High rate capability caused by surface cubic spinels in Li-rich layer-structured cathodes for Li-ion batteries.

Project description:Modified Li-rich layered cathode Li(Li0.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13)O2 has been synthesized by a simple strategy of using surface treatment with various amounts (0-30 wt.%) of Super P (carbon black). Based on detailed characterizations from X-ray diffraction (XRD), high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), it is suggested that the phase transformation from Li2MnO3-type of structure to spinel-like phase take place at the surface regions of particles during post annealing process at 350 °C, leading to increase in both first coulombic efficiency and rate capability, from 78% and 100 mAh · g(-1) (charge capacity at 2500 mA · g(-1)) of the pristine material to 93.4% and 200 mAh · g(-1). The evidences of spinel formation and the reasons for electrochemical enhancement are systematically investigated.

The low cation mixing results from the cation confinement by the novel "egg-box" structure in the alginate template. These hollow fibers exhibit remarkable energy density, high-rate capacity, and long-term cycling stability when used as cathode material for Li-ion batteries.

Hollow Mesoporous Fe2O3 Nanospindles/CNTs Composite: An Efficient Catalyst for High-Performance Li-O2 Batteries.

Project description:The design of mesoporous or hollow transition metal oxide/carbon hybrid catalysts is very important for rechargeable Li-O2 batteries. Here, spindle-like Fe2O3 with hollow mesoporous structure on CNTs backbones (Fe2O3-HMNS@CNT) are prepared by a facile hydrolysis process combined with low temperature calcination. Within this hybrid structure, the hollow interior and mesoporous shell of the Fe2O3 nanospindles provide high specific surface area and abundant catalytical active sites, which is also beneficial to facilitating the electrolyte infiltration and oxygen diffusion. Furthermore, the crisscrossed CNTs form a three-dimensional (3D) conductive network to accelerate and stabilize the electron transport, which leads to the decreasing internal resistance of electrode. As a cathodic catalyst for Li-O2 batteries, the Fe2O3-HMNS@CNT composite exhibits high specific capacity and excellent cycling stability (more than 100 cycles).

Mesoporous Carbons from Polysaccharides and Their Use in Li-O2 Batteries.

Project description:Previous studies have demonstrated that the mesoporosity of carbon material obtained by the Starbon® process from starch-formed by amylose and amylopectin can be tuned by controlling this ratio (the higher the amylose, the higher the mesoporosity). This study shows that starch type can also be an important parameter to control this mesoporosity. Carbons with controlled mesoporosity (Vmeso from 0.1-0.7 cm3/g) have been produced by the pre-mixing of different starches using an ionic liquid (IL) followed by a modified Starbon® process. The results show that the use of starch from corn and maize (commercially available Hylon VII with maize, respectively) is the better combination to increase the mesopore volume. Moreover, "low-cost" mesoporous carbons have been obtained by the direct carbonization of the pre-treated starch mixtures with the IL. In all cases, the IL can be recovered and reused, as demonstrated by its recycling up to three times. Furthermore, and as a comparison, chitosan has been also used as a precursor to obtain N-doped mesoporous carbons (5.5 wt% N) with moderate mesoporosity (Vmeso = 0.43 cm3/g). The different mesoporous carbons have been tested as cathode components in Li-O2 batteries and it is shown that a higher carbon mesoporosity, produced from starch precursor, or the N-doping, produced from chitosan precursor, increase the final battery cell performance (specific capacity and cycling).

Ab Initio Study of AMBO3 (A = Li, Na and M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) as Cathode Materials for Li-Ion and Na-Ion Batteries.

Project description:According to the importance of polyanion cathode materials in intercalation batteries, they may play a significant role in energy-storage systems. Here, evaluations of LiMBO3 and NaMBO3 (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) as cathode materials of Li-ion and Na-ion batteries, respectively, are performed in the density functional theory (DFT) framework. The structural properties, structural stability after deintercalation, cell voltage, electrical conductivity, and rate capability of the cathodes are assessed. As a result, Li compounds have more structural stability and energy density than Na compounds in the C2/c frame structure. Cell voltage is increased by increasing the atomic number of the transition metal (TM). A noble approach is used to evaluate electrical conductivity and rate capability. M = Fe compounds exhibit the lowest band gaps (BGs), and M = Mn compounds exhibit almost the highest one. The best electrical rate-capable compounds are estimated to be M = Mn ones and the worst are M = Ni ones. As far as cell potential is not the concern, AMnBO3, ACoBO3-AFeBO3, and ANiBO3 are the best to the worst considered cathode materials.
